A massive staircase going up in alarge bold curve or as in Fig. 37, around two orthree sides of a rectangle, with landings, is afine thing and can be made of great effect. Buta plain staircase at the end of a hall or in a nicheat the side is not a pleasing object and muchwill be gained by placing before it a screen. Fig. 3S is a suggestion, though it is too heavyfor a moderate sized house.
